Because of this, you should not acquire any financial products before taking into account whether your selected products are appropriate to your personal circumstances, having regard to your own objectives, financial situation and needs. Whilst reasonable efforts are maintained to provide accurate, true and correct information, it is advised that you confirm the terms of any product or contract and consult the product disclosure statement before making a decision to apply to any product issuer.

Hi there! Welcome to MoneyBuddy.com.au. This section is to explain some more about what we do and how we do it – just in case you were wondering. :)

MoneyBuddy is a personal financial information website based in Australia. Money decisions are an important, regular part of life and we want to help you make those decisions with greater confidence with the information that we provide on our site so you can compare some of the products and features available in the market.

But we don’t know your personal circumstances or financial goals – everyone's financial situation is unique. So we don't offer personal advice or personal recommendations. All the information we provide on MoneyBuddy is general in nature. If you want some specific financial advice, then speak with a licensed financial advisor.

On MoneyBuddy we display financial rates and products from a wide range of banks, credit unions and other finance companies. We don't list every financial product or provider that is in the market. We focus on displaying products that we think our users will want to see and compare and where we get regular updates to rate changes, so that we know we can provide accurate information.

The order that products are displayed in our comparison tables does not reflect any rating, endorsement or ranking. When comparing the products on our website you need to take into account your own financial situation and objectives.

We have a 'Special Offers' section which highlights some products based on a particular discount or deal that is being offered. As described above these are not an endorsement and are not ranked. If you want to look more closely at these products you’ll need to decide if they are right for you.

Like any business we need to generate revenue. We don’t charge visitors to use MoneyBuddy, so our revenue is generated primarily through advertising and referral fees. For example if you click an 'Apply Now' link on MoneyBuddy you may be redirected to a financial institution’s website. If you then choose to apply for a product the financial institution may pay us a referral fee. But you are under no obligation to apply for financial products because you have used MoneyBuddy. If you do, we appreciate it and it helps us develop and improve our service and we thank you sincerely.

In some instances on MoneyBuddy you may see a link to "get advice". This will connect you with an appropriately licensed professional. MoneyBuddy will not provide this advice to you. For more information please see our Terms of Use. If you'd like more information about who we are and how we work, then have a look over here.
